Dean (6927 KP) rated The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) in Movies

Hilarious!
One of my favourite Comedies and possibly the best Spoof one. Always makes me laugh. From the same team behind @Airplane! (1980) and @Top Secret! (1984) it has the same sort of humour and a great mix of gags.

Cold Pursuit (2019) isn't worth following
Hardly the frozen “Taken” we were promised by the marketing, this remake of the director’s own 2014 film "Kraftidioten" has moments of sublime black humour but is too disjointed, derivative and haphazard to do justice to its cast or premise...

Satirical clap-trap
I think I'm missing something, I just didn't get it one bit, I researched the back story but still not sure. I'm not a huge fan of satirical humour in that detail either. Accents are horrendous, gave me a headache after just ine episode

Rolling Stone's 316th greatest album of all time
Fantastic album, featuring so many amazing rock songs, from the sublime "Where is my mind" to the bonkers "Broken Face". A band with so much personality, intelligence and sense of humour, and an ability to mix in different styles and tempos of song.

Laura (6 KP) rated The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019) in Movies

Good for a kids film
After seeing the secret Life of pets, I felt I needed to then see the second one. We opted for the new odeon luxe that has opened. I feel that this may have contributed to an increased score. The storyline was good, no prolonged intro which was great for the kids. Some scary moments which my daughter wasn't too impressed with but every movie needs its ups and downs! Some excellent humour and some excellent correlation to real life (fox in the farm, cone of shame). Overall, something just didn't hit the spot to say it was fantastic, however overall a good film

Humour
Concept
Excellent, but hasn't aged well.
Not one of John Cleese's best films, but a good one nonetheless.
Clockwise is a very typical road-trip comedy, but from before everybody was doing it.
The plot can be summed up as A-B, hijinx along the way etc., as I said: very typical. But as this is John Cleese it stands apart from the typical road trip comedy, with classic British humour (not for everyone, but I love it), and a protagonist not unlike Cleese's Basil Fawlty character.
Unfortunately the film hasn't aged well, most of the predicaments could be easily solved with modern technology, and the film certainly shows its age.
